Adventures in Improvisation

About this event

Whether you are a singer-songwriter, a table drummer, a shower singer, a trained musician, or someone who just loves music, come discover the fun and joy of improvised music! Join Music for People and the Buffalo Creative Music Group for a powerful workshop Friday through Sunday, November 20th-22nd at Benten Music Center on 292 Summer St. in Buffalo. We will explore the joyful healing practice of musical improvisation through simple exercises and a supportive community. You’ll discover how spontaneous music-making can enhance your personal creativity, foster emotional well-being, and create powerful connections with other musicians.

Music for People is an organization that teaches music improvisation as a means of self-expression. Music for People workshops are based in the Northeast but happen throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe. They are open to everyone, from complete novice to expert musician. The goal of these workshops is to create a space where every person expresses themselves and connects with others fully through music.

Program director and facilitator Mary Knysh has led workshops around the world as an international teacher/trainer with Music for People, an Orff Schulwerk clinician and teaching artist for the Pennsylvania Council of the Arts, Young Audiences of NJ, and New York BOCES. Facilitator Leanne Darling is director of the Buffalo Creative Music Group, a classically trained violist and adjunct professor at the University of Buffalo. Both have dedicated themselves to encouraging others to create a new way of listening and playing that is free of judgement and full of inspiration.
